And I remember that one. I wouldn't enable en_Redneck to general use, but I howled over the attempt to install RH using en_Redneck. I vaguely remember laughing so much that I don't remember getting the silly thing installed, but that is another issue.
I could wish that somebody familiar with both localization efforts and that old redneck dialect would recreate it for F8, even if only as a respin project. It might qualify as a work of linguistic art 8-).
